How to install Windows Mobile on N810?
 
Hi everybody, merry Christmas and hapy new year!!!
I just got a simple question for you:
how can I install Windows Mobile as Operative System on my N810?
I really hate linux and I'd like to have more simple life to find and installing apps.
Bye, thank you!

You've come to the wrong place, you can't install windows mobile, perhaps you should return your device. KTHNKXBYE!

Re: How to install Windows Mobile on N810?
 
you cannot change your operating system. you can run emulator software that allows your n810 to run applications compiled for other O.S. If you found a windows mobile emulator, some of your applications may run too slow and use too much system memory.

why buy a tablet than runs a linux based OS if u don't like linux? heh. windows mobile is made for ARM so it would be incredibly difficult if not impossible to have it be compatible with our tablet.

the closest thing that could come is dosbox and getting windows ce. heh

Perhaps the original poster received it as a present. If I am not mistaken it is that time of year.

Not to confuse the issue, but if Windows Mobile is made for ARM (don't know it it is, don't know if it is not) how exactly does that make your point?

Just FYI, the tablets are also ARM. So, WinMo can technically run on a N810.

If it ever does, the world will blow up. Seriously.

It won't explode... it'll implode in a horrible, unnatural, and infinitely dense black hole of evil that will pull in every particle in the galaxy to its center at 100 million times the speed of light.

Sorta like an accident with the LHC, but more evil and more likely to occur.

Symbian would be a much more realistic bet. In the end it's almost the same HW as a phone.

Indeed, although the reverse is more interesting IMHO. I would buy an E90 right now if it could be flashed with maemo, just for the form factor.

just FYI, Even if winmo binaries are competible with the cpu of tablets the fact is that we will never run any windows on this hardware without emulators or remote desktop things. Why? -Because as long as all Windows operating systems are closed source they can not be modified to run on this hardware, before we pay Microsoft to do it, and if somebody pays enough for them to even think about it, anyone who wants to run it, must pay more. I will never ever pay to get any Windows run on my tablet. For free? yes, but that is never gonna happen.

I think it's easier to find apps for maemo, than WinMo. Just enable extras and install all via app manager, no reason to google any apps, searching from the internet is a painful way to find apps.

so how about to install symbian like the new n97 on the n810?

Symbian will be open source someday (2011?)

Re: How to install Windows Mobile on N810?
 
If you guys have an inclination to try a new OS, forget about WM and Symbian -- take a look at Android. Not only is it possible to get it running on our tablets, it actually is. Pretty usable, too.

meizirkki 2008-12-28 17:23

Re: How to install Windows Mobile on N810?
 
Solcas NITdroid is already a usable choise, and he is really active developer, month ago it was only a experimental thing to try, now there are working wifi, backlight control and more to come :)

hmm dunno what i was thinking when i posted that. i meant " 'although' it's made for arm, it'll be hard to do" :)

lol it's all good

hmm question to the OP. what did you intend to install on windows mobile? maybe we could help you out if you told us what you needed. installing things on the tablet doesn't seem to be much different from any other OS. I have a wm phone and i mostly just use it for pim, sms, and web browsing. What did you want to install on your tablet?

No, but I do remember Microsoft Unix, or Xenix. I was an Instructor in the Air Force in the 80's, and the workstations in the system I taught used Xenix. A friend of mine there also ran it on his home computer, and even allowed trusted friends to "dial in" and play around. My first exposure to a *nix system.

Edit: I just did a search for Microsoft Linux. Very funny!

Say, you fellas wouldn't happen to know the command for "ankle bracelet UNLOCK" in Terminal would you? I've tried "sudo gainfreedom ankleunlock" but it doesn't seem to work.
Or even just the command to turn it off... I just want to go to my cousins wedding you see...coming right back.

I think:

Code:

rewind-time="DateOfIncident"
undo $DateOfIncident
reset-time

...that will work :rolleyes:

That wouldn't even work in virtual reality. Maybe you meant:
Code:

undo $rewind-time

I know, I know. I was going to do that, but undo $rewind-time didn't have a good ring to it.

I really thought that Italy is a motherland for one of the best design schools of the world. Cars, furniture, cloth, Rome :)

Hmph.

Looks like I found this thread too late to suggest the original poster simply use the built-in Windows-Mobile emulation mode that Nokia thoughtfully provided.

To activate Windows-Mobile Emulation Mode in your Nokia N700, N800, or N810 device, simply open the back cover and remove the battery... as if by magic, the device becomes instantaneously as useful and reliable as any other Windows-Mobile device...


;)

You know, newbies will actually try that and start a new post trying to figure out why they didn't succeed.

Re: How to install Windows Mobile on N810?
 
lol :D

Have anyone tried the original WinMo emulator hacked for n8x0?
